Our planet is more alive than we used to think. Besides responding to human influence, the Earth goes through its process of change. Perhaps the biggest mistake we humans made is that we thought we could own parts of our planet. However, the global climate is changing and parts of the globe that were once […]

We know, forests are one of man’s main allies to prevent global warming. Coming to cover 31% of the Earth’s land surface, the woods constitute the habitat for 75% of biodiversity. The role of forests is therefore fundamental to allow the balanced survival of the various animal and plant species on earth. At the same […]

Climate change will make some places on Earth uninhabitable within the next 30-50 years. This theory is supported by a NASA study that underlined the dangers for humans from a rise of average temperatures. If the phenomenon will continue, some places on our planet will reach climatic conditions that are incompatible with human life. Heat […]

It is known that climate change has negative and irreversible repercussions on our Planet, but how will it affect our lives? A study by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), entitled “Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability“, analyzed in detail how climate change will change our lives. The negative impacts of global warming […]

Forests absorb a large amount of carbon in a way that is clearly superior to other terrestrial ecosystems. So, forests could represent a solution to mitigate climate change, which has been afflicting our planet for a long time, and to which there is still no solution. Can we really consider forests the solution or are we just […]

Sustainable forest management is a necessary condition to mitigate climate change; however, it is not sufficient. In order for forests to help stabilize the climate, further measures are needed, including the expansion of forest land, the reduction of deforestation, and governmental commitments. What is the problem? Earth is presently facing the destructive effects of global […]

Green growth: what can we do to achieve it? The new sustainability gallery at MUSE in Trento (Italy) shows the possible future scenarios of our planet One of the most significant issues of recent years is that concerning sustainable development and green growth. Because of different phenomena, like fires and deforestation, the planet is going towards […]

In order to contrast climate change, it is vital that everyone does something concrete every day. Here are 10 useful tips to fight climate change. The effects of climate change are more and more worrying. Recently a new report has been published by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an ONU organization that deals with climate […]

Openmind Projects is an NGO that operates in Thailand, Laos, Nepal, and Cambodia. This unique organization transforms the disadvantaged in Southeast Asia into independent lifelong learners I was looking for an experience with an NGO because visiting a country for just a few days didn’t seem enough. I didn’t expect to be a tourist, but to “live […]

As global warming continues to wreak havoc around the world, the need to adapt eco-habits grows. However, like all other habits, there are early adaptors and skeptics. Since the world has not adapted the eco-habits, it takes individuals to build momentum and push the world towards more responsible habits. Obviously, a single person cannot reverse […]
